Over the last two decades, interest in translation around the world has increased beyond any predictions. International bestseller lists now contain large numbers of translated works, and writers from Latin America, Africa, India and China have joined the lists of eminent, bestselling European writers and those from the global English-speaking world. Despite this, translators tend to be invisible, as are the processes they follow and the strategies they employ when translating. The Translator as Writer bridges the divide between those who study translation and those who produce translations, t

"Fragmented, buried, and largely lost, the classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it. 'Deep Classics' is the study of these obstacles and, in particular, of the way in which the contemplation of the classical past resembles -- and has even provided a model for -- other kinds of human endeavor. This v. offers a new way to understand the modalities and aims of Classics itself, through the ages. Its individual chapters draw fruitful connections between the reception of the classical and current concerns in philosophy of mind, cognitive theory, epistemology, media studies, sense studies, aesthetics, queer theory and eco-criticism. What does the study of the ancient past teach us about our encounters with our own more recent but still elusive memories? What do our always partial reconstructions of ancient sites tell us about the limits of our ability to know our own world, or to imagine our future? What does the reader of the lacunose and corrupted literatures of antiquity learn thereby about literature and language themselves? What does a shattered statue reveal about art, matter, sensation, experience, life? Does the way in which these vestiges of the past are encountered -- sitting in a library, standing in a gallery, moving through a ruin -- condition our responses to them and alter their significance? And finally, how has the contemplation of antiquity helped to shape seemingly unrelated disciplines, including not only other humanistic and scientific epistemologies but also non-scholarly modes and practices? In asking these and similar questions, Deep Classics makes a pointed intervention in the study of the classical tradition, now more widely known as 'reception studies'."--Bloomsbury Publishing Fragmented, buried, and largely lost, the classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it.

This text aims to explode two notions that are commonplace in American cultural histories of the 19th century: that the spread of literature was a simple force for the democratization of taste, and that there was a body of 19th-century literature that reflected "a nation of readers".

While the first decade after the fall of the Berlin wall was marked by the challenges of unification and the often difficult process of reconciling East and West German experiences, many Germans expected that the "new century" would achieve "normalization." The essays in this volume take a closer look at Germany's new normalcy and argue for a more nuanced picture that considers the ruptures as well as the continuities. Germany's new generation of writers is more diverse than ever before, and their texts often not only speak of a Germany that is multicultural but also take a more playful attitude toward notions of identity. Written with an eye toward similar and dissimilar developments and traditions on both sides of the Atlantic, this volume balances overviews of significant trends in present-day cultural life with illustrative analyses of individual writers and texts.

Das Buch verfolgt die Kommunikation von Autoren und Verlegern, die ab 1933 aus den deutschsprachigen Gebieten in die Niederlande flohen, und erforscht ihre Rezeption und Weiterwirkung in den Perioden vor, während und nach dem Krieg. Durch die Exilverlage Querido und Allert de Lange wurde Amsterdam zum Zentrum der Produktion und des Vertriebs der Exilliteratur. Die niederländisch-deutschen Verflechtungen waren international vernetzt, aber der Markt für die Bücher innerhalb der Niederlande war relativ groß und niederländische Übersetzer und Rezensenten bemühten sich um ihre Verbreitung. Einige Autoren ließen sich langjährig in Holland nieder. Fallbeispiele einzelner Schriftsteller und Verleger bilden ein Gewebe von Lebens- und Rezeptionsgeschichten bis heute. Durch die verlängerte Zeitperspektive unterscheidet sich dieses Buch von der bisherigen Exilforschung. Es zeigt Veränderungen in der Wahrnehmung der Exilliteratur unter sich wandelnden gesellschaftlichen und politischen Bedingungen. Durch die Verknüpfung individueller Geschichten wurde versucht, einer modernen Darstellung der Literaturgeschichte gerecht zu werden.

Alexandrie au IIIe siècle avant J.-C., une ville nouvelle dans un monde nouveau : depuis les conquêtes d’Alexandre, la culture grecque s’étend et se diversifie. Alexandrie et sa Bibliothèque : un centre intellectuel sans précédent où les poètes sont aussi astronomes, grammairiens, mathématiciens. La littérature qui naît dans ce contexte est bien sûr à l’image de ce renouvellement et de cette ouverture culturelle. C’est ce que montre ici Christophe Cusset à travers l’étude de la réécriture chez les poètes alexandrins. Ces poètes – Callimaque, Théocrite, Apollonios de Rhodes notamment – créent une nouvelle poésie en étroite continuité avec la littérature grecque des siècles passés. Comment allient-ils l’ancien et le nouveau ? Que reprennent-ils à Homère ou à Pindare ? Comment lisent-ils et comment comprennent-ils ces textes désormais classiques ? À la lumière de la critique littéraire moderne, cette étude s’attache à éclaircir les données de l’esthétique alexandrine en mesurant au plus juste, soit sur des points techniques précis, soit dans une lecture plus large, la part de l’érudition et la place du jeu poétique dans une intertextualité toujours en effervescence et ambiguë.

Howard D. Weinbrot challenges the view that the period 1660-1800 is correctly regarded as the "Augustan" age of English literature, a time in which classical Augustan ideals provided a main source of inspiration. Scholars have held that British writers of the Restoration and eighteenth century considered Augustus Caesar to be the model of the wise ruler who enabled political, literary, and moral wisdom to flourish. This book shows on the contrary that classical standards, though often invoked, were often rejected by many informed citizens and writers of the day.Anti-Augustan sentiment consolidated by the 1730s, when both Whig and Tory, court and country, viewed Augustus as the enemy of the mixed and balanced constitution that was responsible for British liberty. Professor Weinbrot focuses in particular on literature and its classical backgrounds, reinterpreting major works by Pope and Gibbon.Originally published in 1978.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
